The circus was good but it had wretched
weather to show in. The best part of the
show was composed of ladies' who attended,
as they waded about with their skirts in their

located hustle, is one wonderful to behold.
ScriDner's Magazine will signaIize the coH.
pletion of its first year by the publication of a

will represent the hest and most original
work of American artists and engravers.
The cover is to be enriched by a special bor-
der, printed in gold; but Notwithstanding the
fact that the preparation of this number has
necessitated, of course, a greatly increased
cost, the price will remain the same, twent,-
five cents.

impressed upon the minds OF all, that bois-
ferrous talk, obscenity or yulg arity upon the
streets constitute a violation of q state statute
and of a city ordinance. While even these
OF public decorum are committed
by a very few, they give occasion 20 their
being multiplied by busy tongues, aid they
should cease entirely. Let the ,ior of

tractors that the people who voted, Thurs

interference with their pl iya,e
habits, are neither w~hiskyites or row dies.
